The Monros Advertiser says: After

we have to otter a lamentation. Uoles*
relief is Lad by a good rain fail, and that

corn crop will be almost wholly mined.
A farmer of Monroe county, who has re-
oen'ly traveled aoro-s the country from
foray tu to CovinatoD, reports the orops
a3 the poorest he ever saw. In some sec

facts concerning toe recent arrest of Mr.

of this cons'y. Last December, late on

Hardy’s neighbors, named Ackten, eiop
ped, while passing Mr. Hardy's and ask
«d for some brandy, saying ne was sick.
It was evident he w.s sick an- suffer
ing, and Mr. Hardy gave him about a
pint of hrandy. Ack'en offered to pay
aim for if, bat Mr Hardy declined to
lake pay, saying that he had no hquo
for sale, and that this was some he kept
for family use. Ackten insisted on pay
ing, saying: ‘Yon cant afford to keep
brandy here to give away.’ Finally, at
ter repeated urgiutr. Mr. Hardy said:'
Well; I gave.$225 a gailm for that
brandy. Yon tony pay me tbe cost of
what you g*t;” and Ackten pail
him thirty cents. Ackten afterward
moved to Coweta couutv, and reported
Mr. Hardy to a depniy co lector named
Cavender, as a violator of tbe internal
revenue laws. Last Friday Cavender
went down to Mr. Hardy’s and arrested
him. Finding ont from the neighbors
wnat sort of a man Mr. Hardy was, the
officers releasad him on bis promise to
go to Atlanta for trial next day. Tbe
next day, Saturday, Mr. Hardy went to
Atlanta, employed Gen. Gartrell, and on
Monday tbe case was brought before
United States Commissioner Smith. Mr.
Hardy had no concealment to make about
it, bat. admitted the facts detailed above.

The veneisble Emperor and Empress
os Germany have addressed a letter to-the
Imperial Cnancellor thanking the German
people far the loyal affection displayed
ia the golden wedding festivities. They
say :
“Thanks to the governing care of Sa
vins Providence, “wa were permitted on
the 11th of June to celebrate tbe fiHy
years jubilee of onr wedded life, and to
observe then how this, the d*y of our
n personal reminiscences, took the
form of a festival ot general significance
all over the German Fatherland and far
beyond its borders wherever Gormans
dwell together. It has thus become
more clear to us than ever with what love
aud loyalty the German people are anima
ted toward their Emperor and his Iloaee.
Congratulations and expressions of allegi
ance in tbe forms of letters, telegrams,
joyful gala performances, poetio aud ar
tistic dedications, fragrant flower offer
ings, etc., grew into a popular movement,
hioh did not fail to make a deep Im
pression on us* Bat we were not per
mitted to end oar satisfaction beta ; the
bignly noble acts have come 'to light,
showing a. Very gratifying apprebcn-lon
of our moat Inward feelings. Mindful of
the ever-ibcrearicg necessity of holding
ont a helping band in times of need, our
■uhjeo's cauoslTtd the notion cf making
our jubilee the oooaeion for adding to the
netwoik of charitable institutions all
over ihe Empire aud founding lasting
blessings to humanity. We therefore
feel ourselves impelled here also to con
vey onr assurance that tbe withes cherish
ed by os wi-h especial warmth have thus
received their fulfillment, We desire to
thank all, both far and near, for the way
which they have helped to celebrate
our jubilee d*;, and commission you,
therefore, forthwith to bring th:e aa-
nnnooemuQt to pub JO uulloe.”
The letter writers say that tLliteen
thousand telegrams and letters of con-
ratulation were received by their Impe
rial M-j-sties oa the day of the golden
wedding.'

Patience ana a Button Castle,
The papers sad politicians are busily
discussing the questions of who hare
lost and what has been list by this extra
session? The answer will depend greatly
on tbe temper of tbe people, end the time
for closing up the aicaont and striking
a balance It will be noliotd that all the
politioal action of the Badioal party ia
predicated upon the exi&tenee of an ab-
norm 1 condition of the oonntry, and its
mdefiuite continuation. They believe in
tbe eurvival for a long time, in the United
States, of a fethng of aotive and bit's*
distrust of tbe Southern States; and if
there be any of them who do not believe
io that, they view the eitnation cf the
party as so desperate that a mere tempo
rary and evanescent encoeas is the best
that can be hoped for, anyhow.
Let us explain : Tee whole Badioal
party, at this time, is feed by the one
idea of exalting the prerogative of tbe
Federal government as against those of
tho people and uf the States. This tingle
conception and purpose underlies every
measure and all tbeir action. I be band ot
tbe Federal government must direct and
oontrol the States and the people in all
things.
Now, bo eanepublic mao can possibly
huppose that a normal road to pmlio con
fidence m America lies through asy snob
idea or assumption. Oar wloIo political
history is a record of wreck and min of
high Federal parties. The people oovi-
onsly in their normal temper, must side
with poputar and 1-0*1 government, and
these must be the perv-dipg law in iho
maintenance ot police, good order, secur
ity and efiiweuo;, for the simple reason
t.’.at it is abe«id to aappo-e they ore be
maintained in any other way. The ma
chinery or the Foderal government is in
adequate to the work.
But against these self-evident troths
the Radicals are waging a settled war
against the jurisdiction ot the Stitea and
tba people thereof, no5=r the idea that
they ere make political capital out of it V
Ho* ? Why they beiieve that the hostil
ity to and distrust of the Southern mi
nority of Scales are eo strong, settled
and enduring, and ean be a*ed eo tffect-
lvely, that al! the other States can be in
duced to favor these unconstitutional
pretensions in order that tha Southern
States may be put under baa.
Thai’s the ph.lusopby- of it. Ic is foun
ded on an abnormal condittOB of pnblio
; feeling, which they believe will be per
manent and at any rate wilt labor to make
eo. If they suppose it potrible or proba
ble that national harmony and good fel
lowship would or Could be speedily restor
ed the vary last thing a-oiogW rational
politician among them would do, would
be to plane himself in an-attitude of hos
tility to the constitutional'authority of
the States and theo-ople^ca-a road cum

Special to the Courier-Journal.]]
New Yobs, June 27.—The price pi
crude oil baa tumbled, now that tbe tide
water pipe line Is delivering at Bayonne'
N- J., 3 500 barrels of oil a day, whiob
runs through the six-icoh pipe of that
fins 115 mfies from Bradford, Penn., to
Williamsport, Penn., and is then trans
ferred to the tSDk oars, in whioh it
hurried to the market. Tbe crude oil
was five and a half cents a gallon a month
ago. It ia now two and a quarter cents a
gallon with a decreasing tendency. Th-
monopoly of the United Pipe-lines hai
been broken and their rates for transfer
ring oil from tbe wells to the railroad-
have been rednoed from twenty cents to
five cents a barrel. The new line deliv
ers oil in opposition lo all the trunk lines.
It has been consolidated with the Equit
able line in the sole interest of the out
side companies and in opposition to tbe
great standard monopoly. Kerosene oil
will probably become much oheaper ss
result of tbe fieht.
Thh BoB’.on Journal, after quoting
Wfaitthorne’s statement, says:
“These figures appeal with epecial
force to onr merchants and msnufactu*
rera, and afford a moat powerful argu
ment against any and all attempts to
perpetuate sectional -animosity and re
kindling the old political strife. Be
fore emancipation, those who made any
such suggestions were denounced as pro
slavery men, dough faces and the like
That day ie past and gone, nor have we
any disposition to fight over again the
old battles of enti-elavery times. * Now
such imputations have no foundation,
It ia not only righ’.fal, but imperative,
on all who desire thrift and prosperity to
return to New England to urge tbe in
citements of an enlightened self interest
npon our section. Massachusetts has
more at stake to-day in tbe prosperity
of the South and in tbe cultivation of
fraternal relations than any other State.
The drift of bnsiness westward cf n3 is
tending to insulate New England. Our
commerce has fallen off, and we must
necessarily rely on our trade and manu
factures to maintain our former condition
and prestige. We must retain onr hold
on the Southern markets, and OHght to
have new ones. Ic is the height of foil;
to think these possible unless there is a
reformation among our dominant politf-
eians. Tbis is not to be looked for. The
great need of onr day and condition is to
plaoe men in positions of power and in
Science who understand fully onr bnsi
jtees relations, and who will make them
a specialty for study and improvement.

But it ought not to be a dormant senti
ment.”

Russian White Wheat.—Col. Wo. I.
Ball, of Sc. Andrews, writes the Charles
ton. News and Cturiev the result of an ex
periment with white Boasian wheat, the
seed of whioh he obtained of Jas. J. E.
Gregory, seedaaan* of Marblehead, Maas.
He saye:.
The white Bosnian wheat has aston
ished all wh»80*ed it. Such long health j
ytliow btraw, standing straight several
days after ripening, and bearing barge
long white chaff b- ads, well filled wirh
plump kernels, wtigniegoftentimes from
sixty to sixty-two pounds to the measured
bushel, white the wheat produces from
five to ten hoshele more per acre than
other once wall thought of varieties. It
ia believed by many that as soea as the
wbite Bnseian wheat can be get in suffi
cient quantity it is destined to crowd ont
to a great extent other varieties,, and will
beoome the staple sprit- g wheat of thc-
Uaited States for a term of y?ars until
other new varieties take its place. The
white Russian wheat stands well after
being tipe, and it is not liable to lodge or
rtfc» when green; it is dttided!y healthy,
and has in many cases produced a fnl!
average crop where other varieties along
side of it have failed. * •
